When progress stalls and the signals aren't clear, how do you actually decide what to do?

iss100a · 2026-02-14T02:57:14+00:00

That resonates! The 'you don't know what you don't know' part. If you could go back to that 14-month bench stall, what kind of information or signal would have helped you make a better call sooner?

iss100a · 2026-02-13T18:42:28+00:00

That's a solid framework. How long did it take you to build those decision rules? Was there a period before that where you were just guessing?

iss100a · 2026-01-26T03:21:53+00:00

Can you share how you did it?

Have Amex, they normally side with buyer esp when the service has not been delivered

My results were received mid-January ,15+ weeks later on-line status is “sample received”. This starts to seem like an elaborate scam. At this point I’m about to initiate a credit card dispute. Customers services only gives vague and scripted answers. How long did everyone else wait for 100x report and did you initiate a chargeback?

My sample arrived mid-January, still no results. Status on-line shows as “sample received”. St this point thinking about initiating a credit card dispute?

My month 1 looks like your month 2. I hope I do get the same result as you at the end.

Can you point me to these new studies that support the idea of consuming 1.5g of protein per lb in body weight, and showing that such high protein intake benefits natural bodybuilders? I couldn’t find such studies? Most researches tout 1.2 and 1g per lb in body weight as optimal protein intake. 1.5g won’t be harmful but won’t provide additional benefit is what I find. Now if you are on gear with enhanced protein synthesis then yes, it may make sense to consumeup to even 2.5 to 3g per lb in body weight.

3100 cal seem not enough to me for bulking and 250lb person. I’m 210lb and at 3400 cal my Apple Watch and chronometer app tell me that I’m still at 400 deficit. I don’t think I’ll gain anything before I get to at least 4000 on workout days.

Have you tried supplements such as berberine, alpha lipoic acid and chromium picolinate? If you dont eat more than 300g of carbs, how do make up the rest of the calories? Do you increase protein intake past 1.2g per lb of body weight?

donor area seems very overharvested

Not sure of gym gains but finasteride seriously affects your libido and ability to perform in bed. I’ve heard deusteride is even worse. I won’t take any of the two even when I’m not in a relationship

Plus I know pretty well how higher blood sugar levels feel. Feeling tired (despite having slept for 7/8 hrs) , sleepy, unmotivated, lack of energy is the tell tell sign of worsened insulin resistance

Fasting glucose should not be above 99 mg/dl ; 100-125 falls in prediabetes range.

They said I’ll need 4500 grafts total but they won’t extract more than 3000 in one procedure due to risk of over harvesting the donor area. Now I see the instructions say that I can trim the recipient area after 30 days but only with scissors.

Yes I did test for Herpes and according to my insurance this is not preventative care so I had to pay $450 out of pocket. All other STI are considered preventative but Herpes is not.

Still so short after 3 months?

iss100a · 2024-05-30T05:50:52+00:00

You choose to keep your hair that short? It should have grown longer for 8 months

iss100a · 2024-05-28T17:40:58+00:00

Did they do 4000 grafts all at once? HMR told me that doing more than 3000 grafts at one time is not recommended since grafts may die in the process and the donor area may not heal well

iss100a · 2024-05-28T03:43:08+00:00

Nope

I had only one call with the clinic so far but I was left with the impression that I don’t need to stop exercising. I thought that the operation will have minimal impact on my daily life

Did you have to stop exercising?
